Black and Howard Rouzcr, accompanied by
aschoomate Mr. - Francis, of Pcnnsyl-
vania College are with us for the Easter va
cation Mr.. Henry L. Johnson of Dickin-
son is also at home.
You can hear it spoken on all sides that
the rough weather will not surely cease I'M
til after Easter, that is to say if the moon
harpcns to new on March Both winter will
last more than month logger that had the
moon been new tweny-tour hours later
What folly?
The baseball season is upon us, but we
shall not see much of 1t here. Mr. II. G..
Skinner would be a sufficient loss leaving
us without manager, but in addition to
this, lIarman pitcher, White and b. Shriner
catchcrs, Fra'ry fielder and Seton end base
have conc hence and that fixes it.
